As you may have noticed, last week LadiesWhoLobby were dead on in their VP debate rumble predictions. Well, not dead on exactly, but if you count the SNL version of the debate we are 10/10. We are calling it a win.

So, this week we bring you the top moments of the Town Hall debate. Election year politics is always fun to watch, but when you throw a live studio audience into the mix hijinks are bound to ensue…

Colorful Characters: This debate is a little bit different than those we have already seen, it’s a town hall. As the town hall is on Long Island, we expect the Long Island Medium to make an appearance with deep insights and challenging questions for the candidates. “I see a contentious time in your life. A struggle between two ideologies. But fear not, I see resolution in early November…Who here is running for something?” Upon which the ghost of Ronald Reagan will swoop down from the ceiling…

REAL ‘Mericans: Is it just us, or are town hall participants much more “American” than the average American? If you saw the attire at the conventions, this week’s town hall debate will take things to a whole new level. The question is: Will the Secret Service allow full on donkey costumes on the Hofstra grounds?

Big Bird: We are going to beat the Big Bird joke to death. Just a warning. Can we have a Muppet at the town hall? It’s not easy being green, but it’s even harder when you cut PBS’s funding! Puppeteers can vote too!

Arms Up! Remember that moment in 2008 when we all discovered John McCain couldn’t raise his arms up? We expect Mitt Romney to raise the roof just to show he can. Also to continue to dispel those Robo-Romney rumors.

Pacing: Epic Pacing. Roomba Romney–Obama will sweep the floor with him! (Get it? Get it? Nudge. Nudge. Wink. Wink.) Unlike other debates, at town halls the candidates are allowed to roam free (much like cattle). We hope the wide open spaces will keep the blood pumping in President Obama. Nothing like a good pace to keep you awake.

What’s Your Favorite…? Pizza Hut may have called off their Pepperoni or Sausage bounty, but we are still hoping for a wild card question. Yes, the audience’s questions will be screened but can’t we have just one silly one? What’s your favorite ice cream? What’s your favorite breed of dog? (On my car is not a breed, Mr. Romney.) What is your favorite book? (Mitt’s Answer: Atlas Shrugged, Barack’s Answer: Where the Wild Things Are (insert Joe Biden joke here))

Chinos: We are not sure why, but it has been decided that town halls do not merit the usual suit and tie get up. They are casual gatherings. Candidates let their hair down, put on the khakis and unbutton their collars. The question is: Will the President wear chinos or pleated dad jeans?
